MIAMI – First year FIU men's basketball Head Coach Jeremy Ballard announced his inaugural 2019 Conference USA schedule on Wednesday, a schedule which includes a new innovative format from the league with the goal to improve seeding and increase the number of teams that advance to the postseason from C-USA.
Within the format, the 14 Conference USA programs will play each other once and their travel partner twice in the first seven weeks of the conference season. At the end of the seven weeks, teams will be placed in one of three groups based on conference standings through the first 14 games of league action.
